Town Lugansk (formerly 1935-1958 Voroshilovgrad) > Yekaterinoslav (Khatarineslaw* is variant transliterational spelling, but technically is one and the same as Yekaterinoslav) gubernia/region > Czarist Russia

*region named after Yekaterina Alexeevna or Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, the most renowned and longest-ruling female of Russia.

Wikipedia excerpt:
The city traces its history to 1795, when the British industrialist Charles Gascoigne founded a metal factory there. It was the beginning of an industry that still thrives there today. Luhansk achieved the status of city in 1882. Located in the Donets Basin, Luhansk was developed into an important industrial center of Eastern Europe, particularly a home to the major locomotive-building company, Luhanskteplovoz. On November 5, 1935, the city was renamed Voroshilovgrad (Russian and Ukrainian: Ворошиловград) in honour of Soviet military commander and politician Kliment Voroshilov. On March 5, 1958, with the call of Khrushchev not to give names of living people to cities, the old name was reinstated. On January 5, 1970, after Voroshilov died, the name was changed again to Voroshilovgrad. Finally, on May 4, 1990, a decree of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR gave the city back its original name.

____________________________________________________________

REASON FOR EMMIGRATION: MAY LAWS OF 1882.

The year 1881 was a turning point in the history of the Jews of Russia. In March 1881 revolutionaries assassinated Alexander II. Confusion reigned throughout the country. The revolutionaries called on the people to rebel. The regime was compelled to protect itself, and the Russian government found a scapegoat: the Jews.

Government-organized anti-Jewish riots (pogroms) broke out in a number of towns and shtetls of Southern Russia. These disorders consisted of looting, murder and rape. Similar pogroms were repeated in 1882, 1883, and 1884.

The govt's indifference and, at times, encouragement to the rioters shocked many Jews, especially the Maskilim (Haskalah Movement) among them. Revolutionary circles which hoped to transform these disorders into a revolt against the landowners and government also supported the rioters.

The new Czar Alexander III and his cabinet underlined these trends in their policy toward the Jews. Provincial commissions were appointed in the wake of the pogroms to investigate their causes. In the main these commissions stated that Jewish exploitation and Alexander II's liberal policies toward the Jews had caused the pogroms.

Based on this finding, the May Laws were published on May 3, 1882:

1. Jews were forbidden to settle outside the towns/shtetls.
2. Deeds of sale and lease of real estate in the name of Jews outside the towns/shtetls were canceled.
3.Jews were prohibited from trading on Sundays and Christian holidays.
=====================
The May Laws cancelled all of the exemptions which Alexander II had enacted. It limited Jewish college students to 10%. It encouraged the police to brutally enforce the new rules. Jews were systematically expelled from towns and villages where they had lived for almost a century. Although the pogroms were stopped, the threat of riots was kept alive by a virulently anti-Semitic press. Pobedonostsev, the head of the governing body of the Russian Orthodox Church, formulated the objectives of Alexander III's government when he expressed the hope
that 1/3 of the Jews will convert, 1/2 will die, and 1/3 will flee the country.

At least part of his dream came to fruition. Disillusioned students left the country. Large numbers of homeless Jews left the country. From 1882 to 1920 more than 2,000,000 Jews left Russia. One small group, the Bilu, went to Palestine. The vast majority fled to the United States, England, Ireland and South Africa and Argentina.

Those who stayed remained primarily in small shtetls. At the same time, angry Jewish youth organized and joined secret revolutionary organizations. Others dreamed about a Jewish homeland. Encouraged by the writings of Leon Pinkser and his Chibbat Zion Movement, they joined Zionist groups and planned for their eventual move to Israel.

The May Laws and their aftermath did not succeed in the way that Alexander III had hoped. True, almost 1/3 of the Jewish population did leave the Russian Empire, but the remaining 2/3 became a powerful influence against Czarist Russia.

Searching for Marcus L. Landfield from Ukraine, Russia, born in 1835

ndoqueen — 2011-05-18 14:17:37Z

I am searching for marriage, birth and death info on my great great grandfather Marcus L. Landfield, possibly from Ukraine, Russia, born in 1835. He was naturalized in 1892 in Chicago, IL, and had a son Abraham Landfield born in 1862 in Russia. He may have married Hanah Shutan from England who was born 1858, but she could not have been the mother of Abraham Landfield as she would only have been 4, so Marcus must have married earlier, probably in Russia. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

The most of the archives is kept in secret so far, so even this organization can not get a hold on all the documents.
Often this Center is the only a thread leading to finding a lost family.
" Sixty years ago the icy winds of the Urals scratched and cut as a razor, the faces of special exiles-ethnical Germans. During everyday check-up they were not aloud to turn away their heads, or hide the nose inside the scarf. The camp director, being in good mood and distorting names of the inmates, would suddenly shout:" Who is Pliut here? You'll be Plut from now on! And we'll give you Russian name! If you are Vilhelmovich, then you'll be Vasilyevich."
Half century later a President of Luhansk Center of Civil Connections received this letter:
" I am sorry to take you away from your work, but I ask you to help me to relocate from Kazakhstan. In order to move, I need your official approval, that my father Pliut Rubin Vilhelmovich, born in 1922 in village Ilyenka, Voroshilovgrad Region, was deported in 1941 or 1942 to city Krasnoturinsk, Sverdlovsk Region. He was there about half a year, after that he was sent to Kazakhstan. In 1943 he was relocated to village Polnoch, Sverdlovsk Region, where he became disable.
We have a problem with research, because my father said that his real name was Pliut Rubin Vilhelmovich, and not one he has in his documents- Plut Roman Vasilyevich. All that because the camp Director did not like his name. From that time on our family has name Plut ( which in Russian means Gester), but our relatives have German name Pliut.
I am so hoping on your help.
I want to know the truth. May be, my father does not remember things properly. How can someone change everything, one's first, last and middle name! Even though I am fifty years old, it is hard to believe it."

It is hard to believe. One might not believe., especially while Lugansk archives do not have information about the change of name. However, there is a match: ethnic German was sent to exile to exactly Sverdlovsk Region, date of birth 's the same. Place of residence before forceful relocation-the same. Somewhere during the ten years of exile he was " Baptized" into Russian. The documents of his exile returned to Lugansk, only in 1960-s. His relatives will spend long years trying to find the lost link, that indicates the change in a name. We also changed real name in this story due the rights for privacy ."

Hi,
I know the name Haverick is a shortened version of Hauterevich according to my father. I believe Frank Haverick was also my great grandfather. My grandmother was Mary Haverick-Eddy, born in 1910, passed away in 1999 in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Hope this helps.

If you are sure it is Beloe, Luhanska, then you can e-mail detailed information of your research to this organization in Lugansk, that has access to the archives and helps people to find their lost family "Center of Civil Connections" cos@pol03.gts.lg.ua
If you want, you can send it to me first for translation and I'll address it to them, or both.
The more details, the better. Good luck.
I'll send you some research stories that were performed in this Center on German families. It'll help you to see what German were going through in USSR.

One Russian site says: " Leyba Ivan Grigoryevich, born 1922, German, lived in Luksemburg, Germany until 1932. He worked as a movie mechanic and a Commercial Artist for the club of coal mine Belianka, Voroshilovgrad Region ( former name of Lugansk). He was arrested on 1.04.1941. On 11.18.1942 he was sentensed for 10 years. He served his time in Peschanlug, Karaganda, Kazakhstan. In 1950 he was sent to exile to Novoselkovo, Turuhansk. He was freed in 1955."
Can you send me an image of the paper, where it says Beloc. I'd like to make sure what it says. gesigner@earthlink.net

This map shows that there were German settlements in Lugansk.
My hometown Lutugino used to be called Shmidtovka until 1918, after the German Shmidt, who had a metal plant out there. The plant still exists.

Town Beloe is not by Black sea. On Black Sea German settlements were in Krimea area. During WWII about 70 000 of them were send to Stavropol Region, Rostov Region, then to Siberia and Kazakhstan, and Omsk Region. Many years later some of them returned, now in Krimea there is only about 3500 of Russian Germans. Could it be that your ancestor came out of German settlement, and settled in Beloe, Luhansk Region?
